I was wondering if these boots would be acceptable for level three? I know they are leather with no zippers, but do they have to be "english riding/equestrian" boots? Or will these also be accepted? Thanks!

Thanks for the help!

I second the idea !
But one's gotta admit that the cape Krennic wears is just fantastic in white , i don't know if it would look the same all in black on all in drab-olive

You'll be more than satisfied.

So in conclusion:
Here are the pros and cons I found for both the Leather Sheen and the Resolene:
LEATHER SHEEN
Pros:
1. Easily applied
2. No applicator required
Cons:
1. More expensive ($14.99)
2. Doesn't stop all dye bleeding
3. Doesn't waterproof as well
RESOLENE
Pros:
1. Cheaper ($7.99)
2. Waterproofs better
3. Stops almost all dye bleeding
Cons:
1. Must purchase seperate applicator
2. Harder to apply and more messy
In conclusion, Resolene seems to be the much better solution to seal leather belts. The finishes seemed to look the same after drying. Resolene waterproofs both the rough and smooth side better. The water droplets never seemed to absorb into the leather on either side and stayed pooled in a droplet. Unfortunatly the sample with the Leather Sheen absorbed the water almost immediately on the rough side. It also stopped almost all traces of dye bleeding after applied. There was still noticeable dye bleeding with the Leather Sheen. I will definatly be using the Resolene for any leather finishing or waterproofing needs.
*Special thanks to Kris for the Resolene suggestion*
I hope this will help anyone in anyway with similar questions or needs. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hahahaha no time for that rebel drama.

Me I am too busy commanding the fleet

Hehehe Fastest typing fingers in the Empire

Richard,
That's is absolutely the best way to decide on your costume details. Find a character you want to emulate and build to match him/her. That is also the best way to chase the higher levels.
Great choice! Like you said staff can be limited with ROTJ being "baress" and having 3 choices to choose from in ANH. You're on the right track!

Hessens will and have passed for level 3 many times. Unfortunatly they were mistaken.

As for hats there are several options from trying to find a Museum replicas or the upcoming Anovos to checking out the venders on the forum

You should not buy the Star Wars Imperial Officer Black Garbardine Uniform Costume that you linked. There are things that you would have to change on that one. For example it doesn’t have the modesty panel.
 
If you want to buy a Cosplaysky uniform, you should buy the Star Wars Imperial Officer Uniform Costume Deluxe Version NEW. It costs the same as the one you posted. People were able to go up to level 3 with that one if it was custom made for them. http://cosplaysky.com/star-wars-imperial-officer-uniform-costume-deluxe-version-new.html.
 
 
mwilsen was a little bit faster with his reply than me. 

Thanks Taylor! Orlando Megacon was so much fun! Enjoying some Disney time now. I guess we've both moved on from the Soviets now, I realy like the Hessens.

Happy happy birthday, Matt! Glad to see you're having an excellent time!

OMG thank you so much Kris!! It's been a great morning so far. I've got a nice view of Disney Springs out our window...
...and a surprise box waiting for me when I woke up!

Megacon in an hour! Let's do this!!
Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Awesome Kris! They are so nice. My wife got me size 11 and I wear 10 or 10.5 US. They are suprising comfortable so far. Well see by the end of the day walking around.

Thank you so much Phil! We are having so much fun in Orlando.
